The Minister of Youth Affairs and Civic Education, Mounouna Foutsou announced that his ministry was in need of 1000 social media volunteers for a project.
The project aims at fostering civic education, national integration, fighting against fake news, and propagation of hate speech online, a release from the Minister on January 16, 2023, read.
The Minister said the recruitment of e-volunteers was a direct response to the end-of-year speech by President Paul Biya who decried incivility, fake news, and a society plunged into moral decadence.
Candidates must be Cameroonian of at least 18 years, and must not have spread fake news or hate speech, among other criteria.
